Canning profits and Yankee farming ideas in Bordentown
An article argues that a small canning operation in Bordentown New Jersey could yield about $20 000 yearly for a four to five man partnership investing $25 000. It compares returns from tomato and fruit canning with California Beck Fruit Company and Baltimore factories, then outlines a plan to build a seasonal plant using asparagus peas cherries plums tomatoes corn and peaches to keep machinery running May to October while urging farmers to intensify fruit growing and even cultivate horse radish for additional raw material and profit.
